LfP: Operation Unfathomable (Knave): Closed/Waitlist

#1 Post by Pulpatoon »

Who's up for playing through Jason Sholtis' weird Underworld, Operation Unfathomable?

Image

And who wants to try out Ben Milton's Knave?

Knave is a wonderful system from the creator of Maze Rats. It is quick and easy and, I suspect, well adapted to PbP. Character creation and a few game mechanics are a little different, but it's pretty simple and highly OSR compatible. You can get a copy for $3, or rely on me to explain it on the forum.

Who will battle the wily Tyrannoclops?
Who dares gaze into the Eye of Shaggath-Ka?
Who wouldn't consider signing the non-disclosure agreement of the Science Fungoids?

Could it be... you?!

You always have something very interesting, unusual and intriguing to run don't you? ;) I am considering it sir. :)

Welcome Nate. I’ll let the the double posts hang out for now. But post an introductory post in our Intro forum so we get to know who you are :D
That forum is here: viewforum.php?f=43
Be well and welcome!

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Alright! The roster so far:
Nate
mjulius
Zhym
Captain Kinkajou

I think we can easily take another two players, but this is enough for me to request a game thread from the mods.

If you're new to Unseen Servant, know that this can take a few days, after which, a folder will appear in the "Play-by-post campaigns" section of the board. I'll input your names so that you can post in this thread.

After that, it'll take a few days for me to populate the thread with all the necessary game and setting information. All said, we should have a game up and running in about a week.

Be seeing you!

I'm already feeling over-committed, but I'll follow along and see what crazy shows up.

I feel like we need to hold the line at six, at least until I see how the group dynamic shapes up. I'd love to have you join us, however, Rusty. Can I put you on the waitlist?
